X - no mouse/pointer
 

I got a new mother board (ASUS M2NBP) and was eager to get Fedora 8
x64 working on it ... the install went great but ....

During the boot up process I have a mouse, works great. However, when
X starts the mouse goes away.

Here is my xorg.conf file (I had to add the mouse configuration lines):

# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "single head configuration"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" # I added this line
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us+inet"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice" # I added this section

# generated from default
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Section "Device"

Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
############### end of xorg.file #############

It seems as though the X configuration tool is not seeing the mouse.
When I switch to run level 4 the console mouse works as expected. I
get the same results with a PS2 mouse. I've googled and googled but
after several hours I have found nothing that will help. I am hoping
someone on this list can point me in the right direction.

It might be that your mouse is having problems showing. You could try adding
Option "HWCursor" "off"
to the xorg.conf file device section.

I thought this problem was happening on NVidia binary drivers. It could
also be happening with the X provided one.

Also you need to erase the rhgb that follows the kernel name in
/root/grub/grub.conf and then it should work ok. These are both required
to get the pointer back.

Don't lead people down the garden path with *you* *must* do this
instructions, when it's *not* something that people *must* do. That
work-around is *only* needed by *some* people. Somebody will read your
unqualified assertions, and erroneously follow them thinking that *they*

X - no mouse/pointer
 

Thank you this was the trick I was missing. I've done some looking
(~10 minutes) around and don't quite know how rhgb affects the mouse
but ha ... it worked and that is all I care about.

Question: How did you figure this out? I had just finished installing
kubuntu to see it worked and start comparing files. I hadn't even
considered boot options in grub.conf.

Thank you again ....

Jamie,
What was the resolution? Removing rhgb from the startup, adding HWCursor
"off" or a combination?
I am assuming rhgb was causing the no mouse problem by your response. So
Karl's advice helped you out.

rhgb stands for Red Hat Graphical Boot. It is what gives you the
'fancy' graphical boot screen(s). I seriously doubt it has anything to
do with this problem or that it had anything to do with the resolution
of this problem.


HWCursor is a X Option.

5.11. Option ``HWCursor' and Option ``SWCursor'

Option ``HWCursor', which is the default, specifies that hardware
facilities are to be used to paint the mouse pointer on the screen.
Option ``SWCursor' specifies that the mouse pointer is to be drawn by
software, which is much slower. If both options are specified, option
``SWCursor' prevails. Currently, these options are only acted upon for
256-colour or higher depth modes, if a Mach64 accelerator CRTC, or a
Mach64 integrated controller is being used. In all other situations, a
software cursor will be used, regardless of what these options specify.

Sorry, I just saw the reply. I have not been checking me email ... sorry.

I removed the "rhgb" from grub.conf, all is working great now.
